Hello Ikhwan and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

1.I strongly recommend using the SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) for checking train, bus, boat and cable way timetables, finding fares* and buying tickets on-line if required. In the unlikely event you don’t have a device capable of running the app then you can use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B). If you are not familiar with using the SBB timetable it is worth first reading the instructions at http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable.

* The SBB website shows half-fare prices by default, the mobile app allows you to nominate whether to show full or half-fares (by editing the passenger details in settings) and is also smart enough to offer you the Saver Day Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/saverdaypass) if that offers the best fare. The app can also display a platform map (at least at the larger stations) to help you make connections. You can also easily filter modes of transport (eg bus or ship).

2. No (it’s the Swiss Travel Pass by the way)

3. You’ll be fine but see (1).

Have you considered the Golden Pass route (http://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass)?

Hello Ikhwan 17,

Welcome to MySwissAlps!

It’s best to familarize yourself with the SBB train timetable as noted in rockoyster’s post. Please download the app on smart phone as well. The app is realtime and will have platform changes or delays noted on the schedule. It’s indispensable with all the train travels you plan on doing in Switzerland. The average travel time between Geneva and Interlaken is 2hours and 46 minutes. The quickest route is 2hours and 33 minutes. The first train leaving Geneva is at 05:45, the last at 20:45. There is an average of 31 trains a day between Geneva and Interlaken, leaving approximately every 45 minutes.

You won’t need to get anymore tickets when you travel on the trains, etc when you have the Swiss Travel Pass. I will attach the Swiss Travel Pass for your reference:

Swiss Travel Pass purchase options can be found at:

You should have enough time to change trains in Bern to Interlaken. The platforms where you need to change are around each other. I would suggest to prepare yourself one stop before Bern by gathering your luggages and wait by the door so you are ready to get off quickly and walk towards your next platform. There is an average of 43 trains a day between Bern and Interlaken, leaving approximately every 38 minutes.

Here is a link about Interlaken for you as well:

Good luck!

Best regards,

Suzanne
